[Wannabe000]

[denis6maybir]

@shantooni It's his FUCKING mustache

[speedjunky01]

you are HAMMERING on the car with fast jittery inputs. Just like racing smooth is fast but in drifting smooth is slide :)

[MrMjrcruz]

you should just work on throttling and getting used to the technique , and i think you should make your front axle turn farther..

@wasab1z bro. that makes no sense haha. If the engine has the power to turn a gear taller than the speed you're going, it's easier to get the car to step out.

[wasab1z]

@3ricman So... what? lol, is this all happening on 2nd gear? lol

[3ricman]

@wasab1z once you floor it and the wheels are spinning your rear wheels will be going fast enough to get it near redline, simulating the amount of drive train movement as being near the top of that gear, however fast that is, like 50mph or whatever.

[wasab1z]

What about teh gear? when u drift dont you have to down gear? so the tire will spin faster? all i saw was that u guy was on 2nd gear teh whole time

[MrVolvo340]

this dude is wank man

[mjeatsies]

less throttle if you keep throttling you will spin out ughh

[gundamfuker]

your tripping up your hands alot, also a tip is to downshifting going into a turn cuz the car has more pull and can keep the rpm high when sideways.
